As sweet W; as love that Ioatcycr dreamed

Fell like Hopes radiance on u heart Of care.
And sounded he the Staging of glad birds,
And taking up the harm, her fingers swept
Across it, sweet, q sweet, the mellow tone
That rose but nh, 80 Il ih the mniden wen

And .oft thy hand and gentle every word,
And yet the same old tune thrObs from my
